TerracedDescription
Offered at auction, this freehold stone-built cottage in Chapeltown has two double bedrooms and is described as needing cosmetic modernisation. Its accommodation includes an entrance vestibule, living room with exposed stone features, a separate dining room with doors to the rear garden, kitchen and bathroom. The property also has an enclosed rear garden and a stone-built storage outbuilding.
The village setting is close to the West Pennine Moors, Wayoh Reservoir and Jumbles Country Park, with local shops, cafés, schools and recreational facilities nearby. Rail services are available from Entwistle and Bromley Cross, with links to Manchester, Salford, Bolton and Blackburn. The listing notes possible scope to extend to the rear or into the loft, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents; feasibility would need to be checked independently.
The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with binding contracts exchanged at the point of sale. Buyers should review the legal pack and bidder terms, including the stated deposit and buyer's fee, and make their own enquiries before bidding.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This stone-built cottage has plenty of character to work with, including exposed stone features, separate living and dining areas, and an enclosed garden with a storage outbuilding. The dated finishes, worn flooring, ceiling damage and staining across the interior, and overgrown garden give the project a clear scope: refresh the interiors, investigate the visible damage and make better use of the outdoor space. The kitchen is particularly tired, with older units and damaged or uneven surfaces around the sink and window. The renovation range is £35,000–£65,000.
At 46/100, this is a low-opportunity result overall, though the score does not establish that the price is poor: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The traditional frontage and semi-rural setting offer appeal, while any extension or loft potential would depend on the necessary permissions and consents.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interiors, including the especially tired kitchen, worn flooring and visible ceiling patching.
- Clear and improve the enclosed rear garden, retaining the useful stone-built storage outbuilding.
- Build on the cottage’s exposed stone features and traditional frontage; the listing also mentions possible rear or loft enhancement, subject to permissions and consents.
Key risks
- Investigate the cause and repair scope of visible ceiling damage, patching, staining and wall discolouration across the interior.
- The roof is only partly visible in the photos and cannot be fully assessed.
